Why is shakespeare still so popular?
Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright the English language has ever known. His popularity is based not only on the precision and elegance of the text, but in the universality of his subject matter. His plays are about themes that appeal to people across all walks of life, generation after generation–love, power, doubt, revenge, etc. The interpretations actors and directors can explore are almost endless, and remain fresh to audiences.
Shakespeare is still so popular because his themes are universal. He writes about love, loss and other important themes. He is popular because people can relate to his writing, because every one has loved someone and people will lose people. People in the modern day still experience the things that Shakespeare wrote about. That is why he is still so popular.
